We don't get many concerts out here in podunk.Quote from: "RW"
We get all the major acts in Winnipeg, but I never saw Santana. I would love to see Carlos live. I wouldn't mind seeing the Doobies either.

We get nothing here. It sucks.Quote from: "RW"
I guess you would have to go to Calgary or Vancouver and that can get expensive once you start paying for hotels and meals and so on.

Solo. He did quite a few Doobie songs. It was a good show.Quote from: "kiebers"
I have no doubt it was. Was Tom Johnson on vocals for the Doobies?

i also don't like these megaconcerts that have become the norm here like Riot Fest Lollapallooza, and Coachella.
I think a good concert shouldn't have more than 4 different acts.

I'm not a fan of big festivals either. Three hours at a concert venue is enough for me.

But the Doobies, too, were AWESOME!!! I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, given they've sold a shitload of albums. But they were worth admission just on their own. I'd go see them again, any time!!!

You need to rock on when THIS song starts.
The 20,000 plus went berserk when the first few chords thundered out over the crowd.

THE threat of rain and an icy wind couldn't keep thousands of music lovers away from Botanic Park last night, donning parkas and ponchos to gather together in a celebration of love and joy driven by guitar god Carlos Santana and his talented support acts Russell Morris and The Doobie Brothers.
Despite the city copping heavy showers just before Russell Morris and band took the stage, the rain stayed away for the entire evening, with the sun even breaking through the clouds at one point to bathe Morris in a golden hue.
It looked warm, but we didn't feel it.
Opening with Thunderclap Newman's Something in the Air, Morris had the crowd singing along in a nostalgic haze and set the tone for what was destined to be a solid night of quality music.
Despite Morris joking he's "smoked a lot of dope, took a lot of acid and pickled my brain", his voice was faultless, fearlessly tackling the high notes and finding them with ease — his voice as clean and clear as it has ever been and contrasting beautifully with the gritty sound of his vintage Telecaster.
As far as tight, hard rockin' blues goes, Morris's was as good a set as you'd hope to catch anywhere, proving Aussies can do the genre as well as any Yank can.
But rather than being simply generic blues and roots, Morris tells uniquely Australian stories, taking many back to places they had been before and painting a rich picture of our country's past for those who weren't around to remember it.
Wings of an Eagle and closer See the Real Thing were met with applause and then the man bid his audience farewell, giving us a chance to get some booze and hot food in an attempt to keep the cold at bay.

And then it was The Doobie Brothers' turn, opening with Jesus is Just Alright — which people of my parents' generation would know from both the Doobie's and The Byrds' version and who people of my era would know from the DC Talk cover they used to use as filler segments during ABC's teen timeslots in the early 90s.
Either way, it was a killer opener, demonstrating the classic rockers' tight harmonies and punchy guitar line-up.
A slight detour into hoedown territory showcased the outfit's country chops and then they were straight back to rocking, with Marc Russo providing some welcome saxual healing, tearing it up on alto in Eyes of Silver.
The band has always been known for its tight harmonies, and their lush vocals were on particular display in the classic Clear as the Driven Snow.
Bill Payne then shovelled some more coal into the engine in a keyboard jam and, with all the fury of a runaway freight train, the Doobies launched into crowd favourite Takin' it to the Streets, proving the band are still as tight as they've ever been and can rock just as hard as bands much younger.
No Doobie Brothers show is complete without Listen to the Music, and the boys were clearly having an absolute blast doing what they love.
As much as either Morris or The Doobie Brothers could have headlined the show, it was Santana the punters were here to see, and the guitar virtuoso did not fail to impress.
From his first wailing note, the supernatural shaman cast his spell over us, apparently none more so than the hemp poncho-wearing hippy windmilling like a toddler given too much sugar in the aisle next to me.
Santana in action. Picture: Emma Brasier
Nobody can make a guitar sing like Santana who, unlike other guitarists, rarely changed instruments, sticking with his signature Paul Reid Smith goldtop for the majority of the 135-minute performance.
It's a dream line-up — Maria Maria, Love Makes the World Go 'Round, A Love Supreme, Evil Ways — a breathtaking blend of old and new, slow and fast that's almost overwhelming, slowing only for a moment to let you catch your breath before racing into the next rollicking track.

Most here see you as a smart player. Misguided, but smart. This distinguishes you from the rest of your BF goon squad, unless you mimic their inanity and try to impress them, at the expense of other members here.
